A compact, condensed sans with a squared-off superellipse construction: curves read as rounded rectangles and corners are softly radiused rather than fully circular. Strokes are monoline and heavy, producing a strong, even color with minimal contrast and clean, straight terminals. Counters are tall and narrow, with rounded-rect openings in letters like O, C, and D, while joins stay crisp and structural, giving the alphabet a machined, modular feel. Lowercase maintains a straightforward, utilitarian build with simple bowls and short, sturdy arms, and figures follow the same rounded-rect logic for consistent rhythm in mixed text.
Best suited to short display settings where its compact width and strong, uniform strokes can deliver impact: headlines, posters, branding marks, labels, and wayfinding. It also works well for tech or industrial-themed graphics where the rounded-rect geometry reinforces a utilitarian, engineered aesthetic.
The overall tone feels engineered and no-nonsense, with a retro-industrial flavor reminiscent of signage, equipment labeling, and technical display typography. Its narrow proportions and blocky softness balance friendliness with authority, reading as confident and functional rather than expressive or delicate.
This font appears designed to deliver a bold, space-efficient voice with a consistent superellipse geometry, prioritizing high visual presence and a cohesive, modular silhouette. The softened corners suggest an intention to keep the heavy forms approachable while retaining a precise, technical character.
The design’s identity comes from the repeated rounded-rectangle motif and tight interior spaces, which creates a distinctive texture at larger sizes. The condensed width emphasizes verticality and can make dense settings feel compact and efficient, while the softened corners prevent the heavy weight from appearing overly harsh.
